SESSION: 19 WAYS HOMESCHOOL MAMAS GET OVERWHELMED (& HOW TO TACKLE THEM)
This session is for homeschool mamas that are overwhelmed and don’t know why. Or they totally know why and don’t know how to tackle it.
If you’re new to homeschooling, there are common overwhelm challenges: Are you trying to do ALL the things but not enjoying it? Are you trying to adopt school practices to create your homeschool? Have you bought the RIGHT curriculum? Do you have space to do your thing, outside your kids?
And if you’ve been in this homeschool lifestyle for a while, there are other overwhelm challenges. Do you recognize your boundary issues (in any relationship) is affecting your homeschool? Do you aspire to multitasking? Are you trying to enforce and persist in your well-crafted plans despite misery?

Why are you overwhelmed? Let’s tackle those challenges: straight talk, with a vulnerable twist from this fifteen year homeschool mama and coach encouraging you to turn this homeschool challenge into a homeschool charm.
